Summer Nights, Boomer-Style

A Boomer Poem, inspired by Summer Lovin’ - Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta/Grease

 

We’re right-sizing, having a blast

Found our dream home – happened so fast

Single story, lawn maintenance-free

And the floor plan’s perfect for me

 

Our new place, such a perfect pace

For our hot summer nights

 

Well-a well-a well-a huh

Tell me more, tell me more

Did you have to drive far?

Tell me more, tell me more

Is there room for your car?

 

We drove by there, had to go in

Couldn’t believe that we’d never been

Oh what luck, this place we had found

And believe me, we’ve looked around!

 

Home sweet home, didn’t have to roam

But, oh, so spacious and bright

 

Well-a well-a well-a huh

Tell me more, tell me more

Was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me more

Are there more home sites?

 

We go strolling down our quiet street

Wave hello to neighbors we meet

With our neighbors we stop and talk

And go to restaurants just up the block

 

What a find, our home is divine

And, oh, our new lifestyle’s just right

 

Well-a well-a well-a huh

Tell me more, tell me more

Does it have “curb appeal”?

Tell me more, tell me more

Your new home sounds ideal!

 

Windsong Properties just builds the best

Quality and luxury both pass the test

Yes, they’re building more homes this year

Better look, you’d love to live here!

 

Attic space, oversized garage

And, oh, professional landscaping’s great

 

Well-a well-a well-a huh

Tell me more, tell me more

Is there room for my stuff?

Tell me more, tell me more

Is designing it tough?

 

Every home has so much storage space

Couldn’t find a more perfect place

Working with the sales and design teams

Really was an absolute dream

 

So much to see, we’re glad to be at

Windsong… Where Life’s a Breeze!

 

Tell me more… tell me more – more – more!
